Introduction

Lady Arabella De Mere has been involved with the Society and the East Kingdom for over 20 years now, with Pennsic XXVI being her first event. She has a passion for fiber arts, specifically tablet weaving, and enjoys exhibiting her projects at A&S competitions and teaching at events and at Pennsic University. She is always happy to talk fiber and share tips and techniques. She is currently serving as the Seneschal for her local shire of Old Stonebridges, as well as the Deputy Minister of A&S for the Central Region.

Persona

Arabella is nominally from 16th century Italy as she joined the Society as part of Household d'Mer, but she enjoys partaking in many different cultures and time periods.

She has been known to answer occasionally to "Jingles".

Relationships

Arabella is married to Matthias von Würzburg.

In Case of Court

Please contact Mistress Vienna de la Mer and Herr Matthias von Würzburg. If a question of a Peerage ever arises, she prefers a Writ. Writs are fine during the current Ethereal Times, but she would prefer any elevation to be done after things return to in-person activities.
